When the Omaha. is completed

That is what the ADVANCE has
claimed for some time, that the exten-
sioh, especially when it gets to the
Missouri river, will make the Worth
ingtOn and Sioux Falls road about
equivalent to a trunk line. II will be
\ great thing, fors small towns, like
Luverne. to be on main line!
Worthington, however will be the
principal gamer. and the name of the
road should be changed to Worthing.

EFF'ECTS OF THE INTEK-STA TIE LAW
The Worthington Advance, Waseca
Herald and Others of our exchanges
publish new freight rates under the in.
ter-state commerce law, and in every
instance the new rates are much less
than the old. The big cities may howl
and their papers may rant against the
new laws, as being hurtful to the cOun.
try, but all the logic iu the country
cannot prove that Waseca is injured
by Il law that reduces the freight on
stone from MankatO from At to 3 Cts,
and on wood from Eagle Lake from
S to p cents; or that WUrthimgton Is
badly bruised over u reduction of 3 to
= cents on merchandise from Chicago
and st. Paul; or that st. James should
howl for the repeal of n law that
knocks from S. 90 to $500 from u Car

ductiOn OF freight rates from the cit
les. 1t these things are hurtful to the
country, as the city press would have
us believe. then for Gods sake hurt us
some more in the same way. The sen-
satnn is delightful and the country
enjoys it.-St. James Journal.
This reduction is one good effect and
we hope it will continue to be an effect.
It will Of course make a difference of
millions to the people every year. The
next step will be y reduction in pas
senger rates.
But the great effect, it seems, is to
remove the Determinations which for
years have been used to build great
centres or terminal points, like Chica-
20, and to kill off and retard interior
points. Already the whole interior
seems to be experiencing q boom. This
cannot all be due to the fact that
capital has ordered forward move
ment and u vigorous campaign for 'S7.
Much Of it is due to the fact that in
terror points feel that they will have
some chance if determinations are re-
moved.
MINNESOTA IU THE REAR
The legislature Of Minnesota has
passed a law Ito give certain plysic-
ians a monopoly of the practice of med.
icine or the healing art; to secure bust.
ness for certain classes of physicians
and to discriminate against others; to
prevent the people of Minnesota from
selecting physicians of their own
choice; to force all people to submit ia
the deadly drug practice and to pro-
hibit any other practice within the
limits of this state; to extend the pro-
lection and the power of the state over
so-called "regular'' doctors and to
turn the force Of the state against all
others; to establish the drug practice
as the practice of the state. and to pun.
ish by fine and imprisonment all who
practice the art of he ling by magnet.

And yet we will do these Legislative
